Riding Bareback
Posted: January 3rd, 2011, 7:39 am
The sun offered a shimmering interlude
for an angry young man
stepping out into the new summer air
trying to squeeze a drop of meaning
from the establishment of war
from the cosmic twists of the new moon rising,
and a beautiful new child was born
in the psychedelic seeds germinating
in the stalls of unstable stables, and we knew
we would no longer need saddles
our nights would wear white satin
the red doors would be painted black
we'd sail in yellow submarines
along the green river with brown eyed girls
we'd dance with the devil with the blue dress on
we were the new riders
galloping through the purple sage
searching high, and higher
for a heart of gold
in the sunshine of our love
for an angry young man
stepping out into the new summer air
trying to squeeze a drop of meaning
from the establishment of war
from the cosmic twists of the new moon rising,
and a beautiful new child was born
in the psychedelic seeds germinating
in the stalls of unstable stables, and we knew
we would no longer need saddles
our nights would wear white satin
the red doors would be painted black
we'd sail in yellow submarines
along the green river with brown eyed girls
we'd dance with the devil with the blue dress on
we were the new riders
galloping through the purple sage
searching high, and higher
for a heart of gold
in the sunshine of our love
